We as a family are very happy with the treatment our loved one gets at St Modans Care Home. We are always well informed if there is anything wrong with our mum. The staff are always friendly when we visit and will do their best to provide us with anything we need. The meals are amazing and the food
and drink are always offered to the family too. The entertainment is really good and everything is celebrated for every culture. Well Done!

Review from Michael C (Nephew of Resident) published on 13 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Arranged to visit Uncle when back in the area. Supported my mother to see her brother, who she has not seen for years due to Covid and her not being able to drive.
The staff and manager were absolutely fantastic in accommodating our visit. Nothing was too much trouble, and as a health professional,
I compliment how homely it felt, start to finish, and the person-centred care was clearly evident throughout. Staff were happy, and interactions were observed to be personal to each resident. A huge thanks to the staff and manager for their efforts today. Very welcoming staff from start to finish, and as a family, we were left under no illusions that the best of care was being provided at all times. Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work you are doing as a team.

Staff very helpful and friendly. My mother looks to be taken good care of. Her room is clean and tidy. I'm always notified of any incidents (ie, falls, etc). Food seems fine. Only complaint is some personal items go missing often, ie glasses, her false teeth went missing in her first few weeks of residency,
and have never been found, same for her glasses/specs! (Also, her good watch).
Reply from Julie-Anne Thomson, Manager at St Modans Care Home

Thank you for your review. It's great to get feedback and will ensure to let the staff know. Please speak to the staff or myself regarding missing belongings, as you know, we try our best to stop this happening within the care home as we understand and know how important these items are for mum. I have an open-door policy, so please at anytime arrange to meet myself or Debbie.

St Modans staff have always gone above and beyond to provide the best care they can for my mum and residents. The support they give with care and compassion gives relief to family and a warm feeling their loved ones are well taken care of. The "we work in their home" is evident as you can see this by
the attitude the staff show. Nothing is a problem, and they always do what they can to help. During this last year especially, it's been a weight lifted off my shoulders to know my mum has been so well cared for by these amazing staff and kept safe. Thank you.

From the start, I have found the home and staff have always communicated with us regarding anything to do with my mother-in-law's care. We are always contacted swiftly on any medical matters arising. Staff are always approachable and friendly. They appear to have a close, caring relationship with my
mother-in-law.

My mother, 95 years old, has been in this lovely care home since just before Christmas 2018 and has really settled in and is very happy there. The care and attention provided is excellent! Lots of lovely staff, freshly cooked meals and baking, lovely en-suite rooms with really comfy beds, beautiful
gardens, hairdressing, regular entertainment etc, etc. It is just like being in your own home but now Mam has lots of company and I know she couldn't be in a better place. Thank you so much St Modans.

I'm absolutely delighted with St Modans and so is my father who has been a resident since October 2018. All the staff are very friendly and do a fantastic job looking after the residents. Lovely homemade food, regular activities for the residents. Nothing is a bother to the staff. My father settled

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
St Modans Care Home provided 'end of life care' to our dad, who sadly passed away on 21st September 2018. Dad had been a resident at St Modans for the past 3/4 years and during his time there he was treated with the utmost dignity and warmth. The care given to our dad in the last days of his life was
exemplary in every way - the attention of staff and the support offered to family helped tremendously. Knowing that our dad passed from this life in peace and being amongst those who loved and cared for him, both family and staff alike, has given our family great comfort. Our dad ended his life in the very best of circumstances thanks to St Modans, for which we are eternally grateful.


If you are looking at care homes for a relative, then please give St Modans serious consideration as a care provider that offers the highest standards of service.


Warmest regards and best wishes to all of the staff for the future.

My mother has eventually settled into her new surroundings. She had been rather isolated at home; not eating or drinking properly.
Since being here Mum has mixed socially and is eating and drinking well.
Mum has also gained weight.
I believe that Mum's life has been extended since being here. She
is happy in her own way.

Under new management, it's improving and they are very approachable. Nursing staff are very good and easy to speak to. Carers are very good but sometimes get very tired when not enough staff on. Staff seem to be getting on better now. Meals are very good with plenty of variety. My husband's face lights
up when some staff come in. Activities are going to be improving in parts of some so I'll see. It's great to see all staff doing the garden.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.764)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.764) out of 10 for St Modans Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.764 for St Modans Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.764
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Modans Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
